Our CQI-12 audit provides an independent assessment of whether the coating management system and production controls meet the applicable requirements and are effectively implemented.

AREA

Equipment

Coating equipment, ovens, controls, maintenance and process monitoring

Testing

BUSINESS VALUE

Why Use VyVy for a CQI-12 Audit?

An independent CQI-12 audit gives you a technical view of the coating operation before weaknesses become customer findings or product-quality problems.

The service helps you:

  • Verify supplier CQI-12 compliance

  • Identify process-control gaps before customer audits

  • Challenge supplier self-assessment results

  • Prioritize corrective actions

For purchasing and Supplier Quality teams, VyVy can audit the supplier on your behalf and provide an independent report without requiring your own engineers to travel. For coating companies, the audit provides a practical assessment before an OEM, Tier 1 or customer review.

COATING PROCESSES

CQI-12 Coating Audit for Automotive Surface Treatment Processes

CQI-12 applies to a range of coating and associated preparation processes. Depending on the facility, the assessment may cover processes such as aqueous cleaning, mechanical cleaning, phosphating, powder coating, electrocoating, spray coating, dip/spin coating, autophoretic coating and curing operations.

Auditor selection is based on the processes being assessed. A powder coating operation and an electrocoat line require different technical knowledge. We therefore match the auditor profile to the actual coating technology rather than assigning a general quality auditor to every CQI-12 project.

QUALIFIED AUDITORS

Who Conducts a VyVy CQI-12 Audit Services?

CQI-12 audits are conducted by senior quality and manufacturing professionals selected for the specific assignment. Depending on the project, our audit team includes profiles with competence in:

IATF 16949 and ISO 9001 auditing

VDA 6.3 process auditing

AIAG CQI special-process assessments

Coating and surface-treatment processes

Automotive supplier quality

Our network includes engineers, automotive quality auditors, CQI specialists and manufacturing consultants with direct industrial experience.

Where a client requires a specific qualification, OEM background, coating-process expertise or language capability, this is verified before the auditor is proposed.

Auditor CVs and qualifications can be submitted for client approval before the audit.

RAPPORTAGE

What You Receive After the CQI-12 Audit

Every assignment includes a professional audit report. Reports can follow the VyVy format or an agreed client template. Follow-up verification can also be arranged after corrective actions have been implemented.
